  • Apple Notes for Windows vista for syncing with iPod Touch?

    Hey all,
    I would like to be able to place Notes files on my iPod from my 'vista infected' computer. Is there a Apple Notes program that works with the vista virus that will enable me to use Notes on vista and Sync them into iPod? or is that a no-go scenario? (Perhaps the iPod Notes program is self contained and will not import/export except through emails).
    I would be curious to know. I use my iPod mostly for PDA type work, and music secondary.

    There are a number of apps that via wi-fi allow you to store and then open certain filetypes on the iPhone and Touch. Airshare, Files\Files Lite, DataCase and FileMagnet are a few I know of.

  • New Computer help sync with iPod please

    Hello I just purchased a new Dell laptop running Windows XP pro. Is there anyway for me to transfer the songs that are on my iPod onto the new computer; I have an old iPod with dock connector with the scroll wheel and touch buttons. If not is there any other good way for me to transfer my songs from my old computer onto my new one?

    See if this can help;

  • HT1719 help i cant sync my ipod?

    hi i cant sync my ipod please help?

    I'm not sure what "everything" is so....
    Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
    What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

  • Can't connect to Store or Sync with ipod. All music lost on iPod

    Multiple severe problems. Is there any live support anywhere,even if there's a fee? Can't connect to iTunes store on Windows XP, tried to move music to new computer, changed to manual setting to do that, but now, there's no music on the new computer or the iPod and I can't get the music on the library of the old computer to sync with iPod and can't create a backup disc, as I get an unknown error. My 10-year old daughter is in tears. Thanks for any help. Would like to get the music back on the iPod and on the new computer. I authorized it.

    There's phone support for iPods and they might be able to help you with iTunes or at least point you in the right direction.

  • My iPhone 5 cant sync with itunes and its always stuck at the backup phase

    My iPhone 5 cant sync with itunes and its always stuck at backing up phase. I tried to update my ios(mine is 7.1.2) and it states that the iphone update server could not be contacted. make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active. Likewise when I try to update my iTunes through the help column(check for updates), it also says the same thing as when I try to update my ios on iTunes. Please help!

    If you're using a fourth generation or earlier iPod touch, click here and download the software.
    If you're using a fifth generation iPod touch and an Intel Mac, buy Mac OS X 10.6 from the online Apple Store and run Software Update.
    If you're using a fifth generation iPod touch and a PowerPC Mac, buy a newer computer.

    I recently bought an Ipod touch 2nd gen, (Ebay). It's in great shape and seemed to be wiped clean.
    When I connect (via windows computer) to Itunes with usb cord the Ipod icon shows, but the only function you can do is eject. When its in the upper right hand corner and you click on it all you get is a done button, when it's in the side bar right click and your only option is eject, left click has no effect. If I go to "file">devices it's as if there are no devices connected.
    I purchased a song with Itunes on the Ipod itself, and it transferred to my library on the computer automatically .
    I have an Iphone 5 and a nano that are still functioning with Itunes thru computer so I'm thinking the issue is with the Ipod touch. I've reset it several times, rebooted it, with no change.
    nothing on the internet has helped, I called tech support and got disconnected. Should I take it to a retail store? I just don't know where to go next, I'm of course willing to pay for tech or repair. looking for suggestions.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    - Transfer iTuns purchases:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program lke one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right-clicking on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up.
    - Restore the iPod from that backup. That should also get you the update.
    - If in the USA, you can also redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
